This fall, United South End Settlements was invited to participate in Boston Center for the Arts’ Community Windows Project at the Mills Gallery in the South End. Blueprints: Boston’s South End Re-imagined was an exhibition of works created by students from the Children’s Art Centre Youth Programs that centered on understanding and reimagining our community.
In this collaborative project, youth explored different artistic processes and techniques from creating graphic cutouts and stencils to drafting floor plans and elevations to convey their representation of the historic South End neighborhood. Mapping, drawing and model-making of the South End inspired these young artists in creating a unique vision of the neighborhood imagined through their own eyes.
Students’ work was on display at the Mills Gallery from November 30th – December 7th.
Community Windows features artwork from local organizations on display between Mills Gallery exhibitions throughout the year. Through workshops at the BCA and at partner sites, artists of all ages curate exhibitions of their work or create new, site-specific artwork for the Mills Gallery windows. The Community Windows project is just one of the many ways that BCA partners with the Children’s Art Centre and USES to enhance our programming and foster an appreciation for the arts in the youth we serve. Many thanks to the Boston Center for the Arts for this unique opportunity!
